Durability

Mostly durable but scratches easily, stays stiff after years of work too. Color rubs off and gets darker. Toe box rolled in an interesting way

Satisfied with the Fit

Perfect last for me. I tried a 3/4 sole after the slip sole started peeling up. That felt ok too

Craftsmanship

Nicks Free Range
Durability

Its free range, so everything is a lil janky, but it doesn't affect the durability at all

Sole & heel

Vibram 2021 Casual Wedge Sole Sand6 months, current sole
Comfort

Its comfortable but lacks wet traction, and wears out fast and unevenly

WedgeWorn for 6 months, current heel
Comfort

Wedge is only good for comfort

Final thoughts
